This appeal filed by the assessee against the order of the Ld. CIT(A)-XXVI, New Delhi dated 21.8.2017 and pertains to assessment year 2009-10.
We find that the additions made by the assessing officer are beyond the scope of section 153A of the Income Tax Act, 1961, because no incriminating material or evidence had been found during the course of search so as to doubt the transactions.
Because in any view, the addition made u/s 68 of Rs.10,00,000/- of amount of gifts received (Rs.5,00,000/-+ Rs.5,00,000/-) in the Assessment u/s 153A without having any adverse material, and by not appreciating the evidences on record, the addition confirmed by ld. CIT(A) is grossly unjust, arbitrary, and against the facts and law of the case.
Understand the scope of Section 153A in the case of Anurag Dalmia Vs DCIT. Analysis of unabated assessments, incriminating material, and additions made post-search.
A perusal of the assessment order shows that the assessee has surrendered the income, explained the manner in which it was earned and has paid the taxes due thereon. Therefore, the assessee has fulfilled all the conditions laid down in Section 271AAA for non-levy of penalty under the said provisions. Even otherwise also, it is an admitted fact that no search has taken place in the premises of the assessee and, therefore, provisions of Section 271AAA are not at all applicable.
Asstt Vs Maruti Clean Coal & Power Ltd. (ITAT Raipur) There is no dispute that no incriminating material has been found at the time of search and therefore it is now settled proposition of law that no assessment u/s. 153A of the Act can be framed in the absence of any incriminating material found at the […]
Joint Commissioner has failed to grant approval in terms of section 153D of the Act i.e., after application of mind but has rather carried out exercise in utmost haste and in a mechanical manner and, therefore, the approval so granted by him is not an approval which can be sustained.
Where search was conducted and addition was made by AO in respect of completed assessment on the basis of the entries found recorded in regular books of account of the assessee and no material evidence was unearthed during search, AO was not justified since completed assessment could not be disturbed in absence of contrary material found during search.
From the perusal of the provisions of section 153A of the Act that notice under section 153A can only be issued where a search is initiated under section 132 of the Act or books of account or other documents other documents are requisitioned under section 132A after the 31-5-2003.
Legislature had conferred powers on AO to just follow assessments already concluded unless there is an incriminating material found in search to disturb concluded assessment.
